IP Unicast
RIP
For ERS 8600, the set metric parameter in a route-policy will now take effect for RIP.
o
(Q01959361-02)
BFD
On an ERS 8600 running a BFD session over a static route, when a BFD failure occurs
o
the static route will no longer get learned in the routing table, even when the ARP for
next-hop is present until the BFD session gets re-established again. (Q02010174)
BGP
Operational problems with BGP software that could have led to system instability issues
o
have been resolved. (Q02026274 and Q01972590)
OSPF
OSPF routes will no longer get improperly deleted even while routes are getting added
o
with ECMP enabled. (Q02021239)
MLT / SMLT
 In RSMLT edge support enabled mode, the creation of a new RSMLT enabled VLAN
interface only on one aggregation box will no longer cause the static default route to
get deleted from the hardware, and thereby affect RSMLT forwarding and re-
convergence time. (Q02005454-02)
 In a dual SF/CPU configuration, when the last CP card is pulled out or fails, the RS I/O
modules will now have their entire ports drop link automatically. This will help in any
SMLT designed network to provide better and faster recovery. (Q01991517-02)
 The ERS 8600 will now check for the SMLT status of an MLT only if it is configured as an
SMLT, while sending a MAC-address-learn message for any MAC learnt on the MLT. If
the MLT is not configured for SMLT, then SMLT status will not be checked and an
MAC-address-learn message will be sent to the IST peer. (Q02036964)
 8600 will now update the ARP when a MAC learn message is received from IST peer,
irrespective of whether the MAC is already existing as local or not. This reduces the
chances of improper forwarding in SMLT/RSMLT designed networks. (Q02044582)
